(20,000ft) peaks of the Andes. The area has a long history of human

The most popular destination by far is the oasis community of San Pedro de Atacama, a village of white-washed adobe buildings at the edge

massive
volcanoes, flamingo-filled lakes, inca-terraced valleys and stunning desert
landscapes.
From San Pedro one
can happily spend 4 days exploring the unique sites of the region, which
include: Valley of the Moon, Flamingo national Park, El Tatio Geysers
(highest geyser field in the world!), and many unique desert villages.
A visit to the
Atacama desert will show you the "Other Chile"!!!! |
